How many Pincushions does it take...
#91
Now I know for sure this is a question I can answer as I just went and counted them. I have 4 decorative ones (rocking chair that the cushion lifts up to hold thimble, needle threader, bobbin of thread), 1 is a teacup on a saucer, 1 is a teapot & the 4th is a basket with a lid that stores thimble, needle threader, etc. Then I have 3 wool balls that have been tied into a permanent shape for pins, 2 of the old timey tomato looking ones with the little berry hanging off, 4 magnetic ones (2 long & 2 round), plus I just bought two more patterns that can pass for broaches to make (Berry Bunch Brouch & Kafflower). I just love pin cushions and they are ALL IN USE! That's 15 when I get the latest 2 finished. One can never have A) Too much fabric, B) Too many machines or C) Too many pincusions. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it! Oh, make that 17; there is one on each of the mats/scrap bags by 2 of my machines!

Let's see. On the ironong board, (1) at the side of three machines (4) on the side where I cut and pin (5) and one in a project bag that travels to class (6). I'd love to have another to place at my chaot in LR to catch pins as I hand sew, then I wouldn't have to stick thm in the arm and then take and place in a cushion in SR. Okay now I have to go to LQS Bye.
